An old woman who's husband died on the Marco Polo suddenly appears to have become an expert on ship construction because 'her father made paint'

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-26216192

FFS I know it's a fairly harrowing time for her but if she was such an expert you'd have thought she'd have jumped ship at the first port of call but no, she's quite happily endured a trip on it to South america and the Caribbean.
Are people so shallow nowadays that they immediately see pounds in front of their eyes as soon as a tragedy occurs?

Soon... "as a gesture of good will, we would like to offer Mrs Swinstead as a free ticket on a cruise to [somewhere very excellent] on the Marco Polo"

Bet she'll accept it. Razz

"I expect to hear from the Marco Polo." Thinking Laughing

Do you think she had a chance to wave goodbye to him?
